MX-5 Cup Completes Schedule With Portland and Trois-Rivieres

TOPEKA, Kan. (Feb. 24, 2006) -- SCCA Pro Racing announced today that
the inaugural season of the Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by Hankook will
include rounds at Portland International Raceway and Trois-Rivieres,
Quebec. The two new races bring the total season schedule to eight events
for 2006.

"We're very excited to announce these two very different, yet
equally historic, venues to the inaugural season of MX-5 Cup
racing," SCCA Pro Racing President Earl Knoper said. "Adding
a race in conjunction with the popular American Le Mans Series at
Portland and an event with the atmosphere of Trois-Rivieres are wonderful
additions to the schedule."

The series, which features identically outfitted, convertible 2006 Mazda
MX-5 sports cars racing on Hankook Tires, joins American Le Mans July
20-22 for the Portland Grand Prix weekend for Round Five of its
eight-race Championship. Two weeks later, Aug. 4-6, it will join the STAR
Mazda and Grand American Cup series on the streets of Trois-Rivieres for
the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres for Round Six.

"These two races fit nicely into the cadence of the schedule and
fill a mid-summer void from our initially-announced six races,"
Knoper said.

The 2006 SCCA Pro Racing Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by Hankook begins its
season May 5-7 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in conjunction with the Grand
American Rolex series. It will run an eight-race schedule in conjunction
with American Le Mans, CASCAR, Champ Car, Grand American and
Mazda's open-wheel developmental series, STAR Mazda.
